Netanyahu Plans Washington Visit to Meet Trump Next Week
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly planning a trip to Washington next week to meet US President Donald Trump, according to the Walla news site, which cites Israeli and American officials.
First Foreign Leader to Meet Trump in Second Term
If confirmed, Netanyahu would be the first foreign leader to meet with Trump in his second term, a move seen as a gesture of goodwill from the US president. The visit is believed to be a reward for Netanyahu’s cooperation in negotiating a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza under US pressure.
No Official Confirmation Yet
Neither the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office nor the White House has officially confirmed the visit.
Health Concerns Could Impact Travel
Israeli sources indicate that Netanyahu’s visit depends on his health condition, as he is currently recovering from prostate surgery.
Legal Issues Amid Medical Recovery
Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s legal team requested that he testify just once in his ongoing corruption trial instead of three times next week due to medical complications.
The planned visit, if it proceeds, will mark a significant diplomatic event, highlighting Trump and Netanyahu’s continued political alliance.
